Chapter 886
The old fox still remembers that Wang Xuan said at the time that the north and the east of these two places are fine, but he didn’t say much about the two places, but in the old fox’s view, this undoubtedly represents the particularity of the two places. I 'forgot', so I couldn't help but try to see if I could take advantage of it.

Now that Wang Xuan emphasized so much, Wang Ren immediately understood the specialness of these two counties, so he couldn't help but asked curiously: "These two counties are still separated from the king's rule by the Marquis of Zhendong, why should they stay alone. "

"It's okay to tell you. There is a huge iron mine, coal mine and other mineral deposits here. If it goes well, the annual iron production in this place can reach 400 times the annual production of Dahan." Wang Xuan said casually.

"How much!" Wang Renhuo stood up from the chair, the speed was not like someone who still needs help, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he looked at Wang Xuan in horror.

"I said don't be so excited, okay, you are quite old, and you are doing something good or bad." Wang Xuan was afraid that the old man would be overwhelmed by excitement, so he hurriedly spoke out to comfort him.

"Why are there so many?" Wang Ren sat down slowly, the shock on his face still couldn't be concealed.

"How much?" Wang Xuan frowned. He didn't know the annual output of Anshan Iron and Steel, but it was definitely far more than 100 million tons. In other words, small steel mills with an annual output of one million tons must be banned.

"Not much!" Looking at Wang Xuan's indifferent look, Wang Ren really wanted to punch him in the face, it was too arrogant.

"Okay." Wang Xuan waved his hand indifferently, "Why are you talking about this? The amount of production has something to do with your Wang family's money. Take care of yourself and talk about your business!"

"Uh..." Wang Ren smacked his mouth, suddenly felt that he was very pitiful. Compared with those patriarchs of the aristocratic family yesterday, he felt that he was superior to others, but he didn't expect to be hit when he turned his head. Alas, the situation is still too small.

"So, Zaizhi agreed to help." Wang Ren continued to ask after calming down his emotions.

"It's okay, it depends on whether you can pay the price." Wang Xuan doesn't care about this point, it can be regarded as generating income if he does it easily, and besides, relying on himself to expand the territory, it is really impossible to exert all his strength , can fully mobilize the strength of the elite class of this era to maximize the benefits, no matter how you say it is a country, under the jurisdiction of the big man, and has a close relationship in luck.

"What does my Wang family need to pay, please state it clearly. After all, this is the first time in the world, and the old man doesn't understand the key."

"It's nothing more than costs and benefits. Costs are logistics supplies, food and grass, equipment loss, war pensions, and time consumption. The rest is benefits. If you meet these two points, it's not a big problem to help out without delaying the business." Wang Xuan said casually.

"My royal family can afford supplies, food and grass, equipment loss, and war pensions. How do you calculate the time consumption? In addition, the old man doesn't understand the benefits, so just ask for a price. The old man can trust you, and [-]% of the land in Langya County is mine. Wang’s, and other counties and counties in Xuzhou also have some, so it’s enough to pay for it.” Wang Ren replied very simply, if he could invite Liu Bei’s army, it would cost much less than doing it himself anyway.

Wang Xuan sighed, and said to the Wang family of Langxie, he really didn't want to ask for a price. He talked with Wang Ren in detail, and promised to help build cities, main roads, water conservancy facilities, defensive buildings, large industrial and mining factories, etc. After the event, Wang Ren left with his two grandsons contentedly.

Today is a fruitful day for Wang Ren. With Wang Xuan's promise, it can be said that Jianguo is a sure thing, and can skip the weakest period and directly enter the stage of high-speed development, which further fuels Wang Ren's ambition.

As for the payment, basically 400% of the family business accumulated by the Wang family in the past [-] years will be paid. However, in Wang Ren's opinion, everything is worthwhile. At least according to Wang Xuan, it is a plain, and the area of ​​land that can be developed is ten times that of the Wang family's payment. !
That is to say, there is such a relationship. If it is another family, let alone ten times, three times is impossible.

Wang Ren, who received a satisfactory reply from Wang Xuan, was full of confidence. He turned around and started contacting the patriarch of a big family in Hebei. Not to mention how Wang Ren pretended to be coquettish and bragging, on the other hand, Wang Xuan also talked to Liu Bei and others.

Wang Xuan was no longer involved in the specific administrative work. On the one hand, he came out to take command this time to act as a mediator, and on the other hand, he also had other plans.

In the small conference room, Wang Xuan said to a group of people in charge of the Northern Expedition's copywriting work: "All the logistical work of this Northern Expedition will be contracted to your group of aristocratic families. We only need to specify the time, place, and quantity and type of materials." That’s it, if you send the money, you will be punished less than three times.”

⊙▽⊙, everyone stared at Wang Xuan dumbfounded, what kind of operation is this?
Logistics work is always the most important thing in a battle. After all, if there is a problem with food and grass, the defeat of the front line is certain. In a battle, the most terrifying tactics are never water attack or fire attack. It's a food cut off road.

In this regard, Cao, the wife of the food-crazy madman, has a great say.

And Wang Xuan's decision is tantamount to turning the safety of the army into a trifling matter, if one is not serious, the army will fall into destruction.

"I don't agree, soldiers, how can the important affairs of the country be entrusted to a group of businessmen!" Tian Feng jumped up without thinking, his head was shaking like a rattle, although other people present were not as fierce as Tian Feng , but they all nodded in agreement.

Wang Xuan rolled his eyes fiercely, he knew that Tian Feng was going to jump out, "Yuan Hao, you should be more careful!"

"How can I say such things for no reason!"

Tian Feng looked at Wang Xuan solemnly, then nodded emphatically, "You can!"

"Damn it!" Wang Xuan's heart ached when Tian Feng couldn't say a word, no wonder this fellow was so capable and died in prison in history, this character is so unlovable.

"Shut up." Wang Xuan was also angry, gave Tian Feng a fierce look, and then continued: "For this Northern Expedition, the logistical needs are either within our control, or what is needed is sea transportation, basically none. Any possibility of threatening the food road, so I decided to contract it out, which can effectively reduce the consumption of our army, and at the same time mobilize the enthusiasm of the participants. Taking this as an opportunity, in the future, within the sphere of influence of our army, less dangerous material transportation, Entrust more to merchants to reduce logistics consumption, and only transport them by yourself when fighting outside and when the danger is high."

After Wang Xuan finished explaining, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. This way, the problem is not big. Indeed, it is indeed better to hand over to those aristocratic families to transport materials within the territory. As local snakes, they don't need to transport many materials at all. It can be exchanged and used in other aristocratic families directly by means of exchange. This kind of convenience is beyond the reach of the government.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang Xuan continued: "In addition, it is also beneficial to have merchants to follow. In terms of cleaning up the battlefield and handling the seized materials, merchants have a natural advantage. This northern expedition to the grassland will inevitably capture a large number of livestock such as cattle, horses and sheep, and other kinds of wild animals. People’s living materials are innumerable, and our army is unable to deal with these spoils during the battle, and most of the time they are directly slaughtered to prevent them from being reused by the enemy, and the waste caused by this is immeasurable.”

"If there are merchants following behind, they can be directly handled by them. Our army only needs to directly withdraw money from those merchants after the war. This will not only greatly reduce the workload of the troops fighting abroad, but also greatly reduce The loss of war, if everything goes well, it is very likely that this Northern Expedition will not only cost a penny, but will also generate a lot of income to fill the treasury."

"This Northern Expedition will be an exploration, exploring a new path of military-civilian cooperation. In the future, the grassland will not be a border problem, but a farmer used to maintain our army's combat effectiveness and harvest regularly. Well, it needs to be taken care of!" Said. After finishing, Wang Xuan spread his hands to everyone.

There was a strange silence in the hall, and everyone including Liu Bei didn't know how to express their state of mind at the moment, excitement?Happy?Not exactly... Although the side of the grassland does not suffer from mange, this thing is as annoying as a toad, and it is very annoying to bite from time to time.

But Wang Xuan's idea, the weird people felt that it might not be impossible to achieve.

After all, over the years, the fighting power of the prairie people is still far from that of the big men. The key to border troubles has never been that they cannot be defeated, but that they are worth sending troops. The money and food consumed by casual movements of wars are terrifying, which makes the ruler feel distressed .
